Truth & Beauty: A Friendship by Ann
Patchett
Ann Patchett At Her Best!
Ann Patchett and the late Lucy Grealy met in college in 1981, and, after
enrolling in the Iowa Writers Workshop, began a friendship that would be
as defining to both of their lives as their work. In Grealys critically
acclaimed memior, Autobiography of a Face, she wrote about losing part
of her jaw to childhood cancer, years of chemotherapy and radiation, and
endless reconstructive surgeries. In Truth & Beauty, the story isnt Lucys
life or Anns life, but the parts of their lives they shared. This is a portrait of
unwavering commitment that spans twenty years, from the long winters of
the Midwest, to surgical wards, to book parties in New York. Through love,
fame, drugs, and despair, this is what it means to be part of two lives that
are intertwined ... and what happens when one is left behind.
This is a tender, brutal book about loving the person we cannot save. It is
about loyalty, and being lifted up by the sheer effervescence of someone
who knew how to live life to the fullest.
